I love the arts. I'm a private visual arts teacher and illustrator. I also love theatre, puppetry, anime, and comics. I like to check out comic and anime conventions, exhibitions, special museum exhibits, etc. These celebrations of imagination fuel my sense of wonder.

I care deeply about animals. I've volunteered at a local wildlife center feeding injured and orphaned animals, and in Costa Rica helping with research and general conservation of sea turtles.

Explaining the difference between crocodiles and alligators. I have a wealth of wildlife knowledge, which means I make a great tour guide on nature walks, and you'll always want me on your team for Trivial Pursuit.
